2015 Chevrolet Equinox vs. 2015 Ford Escape Review

Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Chevrolet Equinox than in the Ford Escape.
The Ford Escape offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Equinox, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Chevrolet Equinox, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Ford Escape.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Chevrolet Equinox or the Ford Escape, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Chevrolet Equinox is about the same width as the Ford Escape.
If you go with the Chevrolet Equinox, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Ford Escape.

Utility
